《THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP》THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP - Chapter 4 : The adventurer's guild is real!
Advertisement
I woke up.
I looked around and remembered that i was in an inn and went to sleep immediately. i got up, exited the room, and went downstairs. here i saw the adult woman waiting the other customers.
"Good morning." [Henry]
"Oh. morning." [Woman]
It was obvious that the woman forgot about me and wanted me to leave as soon as possible.
"Do you want breakfast or not?" [Woman]
"Yes, please." [Henry]
"That would be 5 silver coins." [Woman]
Her you go. " [Henry]
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."[Woman]
I then sat on a chair, waiting for my food. 5 minutes later, the food arrived. she then tossed the food, but not enough to spill it, to convey the feeling of "i don't care."
"Here's your food, better not eat to much." [Woman]
"Thank you." [Henry]
The food was somewhat average, not enough for me to say "this is delicious!" but also not enough to say "disgusting!" after i ate the meal, i then set off to find the legendary paradise of all gamers, the adventurer's guild. i then search the mini map for the adventurer's guild's location.
"Yes! i found it!" [Henry]
I rush to the guild immediately, while ignoring the stares of the woman, men, and even the children. but this time it was an even more darker stare, probably because, while running, my belly and my chest fat flops around in different directions.
"Here it is. the legendary adventurer's guild." [Henry]
I feel so excited! i want run straight through the door, and just hug a random adventurer while saying "thank you for existing!" but of course that would just get me hated more, by the people, and myself. i open the door, and see this lobby, adventurer's socializing, checking for jobs, and planning strategies for there next mission. i walk to the receptionist, and i was greeted by her.

"Hello, my name is Alisa, welcome to the adventurer's guild. what would you like me to do for you?" [Alisa]
She then continued to smile.
"Hmm...." [Henry]
Well, what do you know? some people genuinely don't care if you're fat. i felt glad that my dream still has hope.
"May i please become and adventurer?" [Henry]
"Certainly."[Alisa]
She then put out an application form for becoming an adventurer.
"Please fill out this form and tell me when you are done."[Alisa]
"Okay." [Henry]
The form was fairly simple. it asked for your name, race; age, your abilities; and an essay on why you want to join the adventurer's guild.
"I'm done." [Henry]
"Thank you, now please place your hands on this appraisal orb." [Alisa]
"Okay." [Henry]
I don't know the requirements on becoming an adventurer, but i just hoped for the best that every thing will be okay. i then placed my hands on the orb and light suddenly covered the orb. then something like a card appeared and it has my fake status.

Oh. the missions are ordered by easiest to hardest, that's convenient. so i guess i'll take the horned wolf one.
So i set out, but first a sword. the rule for being in a fantasy is having a sword. so i'll go to the nearest store that sells equipment, and buy a sword. i enter the shop and saw a dwarf behind the counter.
"Excuse me, can i buy a sword please." [Henry]
"A sword eh? sure you can handle it fatso?" [Dwarf]
"Yes." [Henry]
"What kind of sword do you want then?" [Dwarf]
"A short sword, please." [Henry]
"A short sword costs 20 silver coins." [Dwarf]
"Okay." [Henry]
I then handed him 20 silver coins. he then proceeds to get the sword from storage and handed me the sword. he, of course was short, and he talked to me while standing on a stool.
"There you go. now don't get yourself killed now." [Dwarf]
"I won't, thank you." [Henry]
"You know what, here's a scabbard for you, on the house." [Dwarf]
"Thank you sir." [Henry]
That dwarf was a nice person, just like Alisa, didn't hate me just because of my appearance. okay, now then, let's set off to hunt this horned wolf.

Truth is fractured. What urges a person is the small fragment they carry of it, believing it is whole.

After being cast out, there was nowhere left for me to go. I applied for a license from the Guild of Independent Cultivators, but I was rejected every time I tried. It seemed the world had no need for a person like me. I thought it was the end. Until I met Mei. The runaway girl in whom I sought refuge - an escape from the past.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
